Refference：Paph. callosum v. vietnamense |
| This species has the heavy warts on their petal contrasting with paph. potentianum mentioned above. The type of flower is similar to paph. thailandense but the substance of petal and dosal sepal is very thick and flowering so strongly. In Viet Nam, they have typical Paph. callosum and this variety is different from paph. thailandense, so I have proposed this variety's name is paph. callosum v. vietnamense. As the refference, I 'll introduce you again here. |
